About this experience
Walk Boston’s Freedom Trail with a local guide who brings the city’s history — and its food scene — to life. This tour pairs landmark sites with optional tastings of classic bites like clam chowder, baked beans, and cannoli.
You’ll visit highlights like the Boston Public Market, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House, and Old North Church. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll even see the 300-year-old Haymarket tradition in action.
Along the way, stroll historic streets, hear lesser-known local stories, and take in views of the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the Holocaust Memorial park.
Your guide will suggest delicious dishes at each stop. Try what you like — or just enjoy the atmosphere. Sampling everything will run about $30.
